Finally decided to take therapy to deal with bullying trauma

I'm sharing this little story because I'd like to connect with people who have also dealt with bullying, to support and listen to each other. And I need someone who truly understands what it's like...

I was bullied pretty much my whole academic life before college, and I never addressed the trauma. It has affected me in so many ways and I thought I had things under control, but I don't. Social anxiety is the biggest issue for me.
I graduated college 2 months ago and have a lot of free time on my hands. I have been alone with my thoughts a lot. I have been triggered by very little and trivial stuff lately and I haven't been able to recover from the breakdown. And I can't go on like this, especially with my ongoing plans to study a master's degree abroad. It's just about time I address this, I owe this to myself.
I turned 22 on Saturday, and I think the best gift I can give to myself is an opportunity to heal.

I hope this also inspires someone, idk. Anyway thanks for reading c:
